Roadworks at Pearl Beach

Road stabilisation works have begun over a 1.1km stretch of Pearl Beach Dr between Patonga Dr and Jade Pl.

The works started in late August and the final sealing of the road is expected to be in place by late November, weather permitting.

Gosford Council's acting coordinator project implementation Mr Graham Collyer said the works would improve driving conditions and safety for the residents and visitors to Pearl Beach.

Temporary traffic control measures, including warning signs, traffic controllers, temporary traffic lights and a reduced speed limit will be in place while the work proceeds.

Work would be organised to ensure minimal disruptions during peak hours of 7am to 9am, and 2.30pm to 5pm, he said.

Mr Collyer said consideration had also been given to the bus timetable and emergency vehicles would be granted access at all times.

Delays can be expected between 9am and 2.30pm and residents may wish to avoid travelling during these hours, he said.
